*sigh* Happy Halloween. I've been in a rut this month. I haven't wanted to deal with FF, unless I had a good DracoHarry to read. All these NaruSasu have made me upset with this fandom. But here, a revised chapter 6, formally chapter 8.

Chapter 6: Wonderings

A knock on the window alerted Sakura from her attempt at sleeping. Looking up, she could distinguish the silhouette of her new boyfriend with help from the streetlight that stood innocently.

Tomorrow, they would go public with their relationship and she couldn't help but grin at the thought of seeing Ino's face when she told her.

The only problem Sakura thought of as she hurriedly loosened her robes and shuffled to open her window.

Sasuke saw her more or less as a concubine.

And she wanted more than that.

Taro was beyond pissed. He had finally gone to sleep at 5 in the morning because he somehow inherited his father's insomnia and now its 7 am and he was brushing his teeth.

"Come on Taro! The faster you brushed your teeth the faster we can get to the gates!" his sister Tani screamed in his ears.

She was peppy, but hell, she was always peppy.

"I know. I heard you first 15 damn times." He told her, before he rinsed the toothpaste out.

"But if it's repeated, it will stick with you." Tani repeated.

"I know! I fucking know!" Taro replied.

"You shouldn't curse. It's not what youthful teens do." She repeated to him for the fifth time.

"I know. I fudging know!" he yelled clearly pissed off.

"That's the youthful spirit." She said with a beaming smile, before heading down the stairs, to where their father was.

Twitch.

"And then later today, we can do 200 sit-ups!" Lee yelled out in the morning air.

"Yes daddy!" Tani replied.

Twitch.

"And tomorrow morning at 5 am, we can all get up and do 100 laps around the village!" Lee shouted again.

"Of course! Me, you, Taro and father!" Tani yelled.

Twitch. Taro was NOT going to be up at 5 am to do some stupid ass laps.

Lee and his daughter Tani, also known as Gaara's daughter and Taro's sister were waiting for the sand siblings to meet them at the gates. Their dad insisted that they needed to be there an hour early, because that's what 'youthful and prudent' people do. Joy.

Now, it was 9 and Taro could see the red hair of his father in the distance.

"Finally!" he thought, because the rest of his family was annoying the hell out of him.

He liked his father: calm, collected, and NOT into this "youthful" crap.

When Gaara and his siblings finally got to the gate, Lee immediately went to them to explain the situation. Temari and Kankuro left to go find their future family, and Gaara appraised his children.

They looked like him.

"Thank Kami-Sama!" he thought, but the girl was smiling like Lee and peppy, so he assumed she was like Lee, while the boy who looked older seemed pissed off.

Lee went into a discussion about workouts with 'their daughter' while walking to a place where they could get a 'youthful' breakfast.

Gaara and Taro trailed behind.

"I can't believe you married him." Taro told his father.

"Me either." He told his son. He liked him. He was quiet.

"I wonder how everyone else is doing." Taro thought to himself.

The tension in the room was so thick; you could cut it with a kunai.

Neji, Shikamaru and Kisho were in the middle of a very intense word puzzle game.

Neji was not one for losing, so he was putting his genius mind to work.

Shikamaru was impressed with the tough competition. His future husband and son were playing their best and he was playing his best and was struggling to win.

Kisho on the other hand, was pissed. Why in the world were his parents so good in the past? He was used to beating them easily, unless…Kami-Sama! They let him win in the future. Fine! He was going to beat them at their best.

For the briefest moment that morning, they all wondered how everyone else was doing.

Hoshi snorted at how pathetic his parents were in the past. Just because his mother asked how his dad slept, his dad blushed (meaning someone must have had a very nice dream), and then his mother started blushing because his father blushed.

"So, dad, when are we going to the stadium?" Hoshi asked Kiba.

"Um. I don't know. I guess in an hour. What do you say Hinata?"

Hinata blushed and Kisho rolled his eyes as he went to pour food for his dog, Kage.

"Um…t-that sounds g-great, K-Kiba." Hinata got out.

Hoshi wondered if everyone was having a better time, while he watched his blushing parents.

Sai blocked another punch Sakura sent his way. He was starting to feel a very angry and annoyed emotion put together. Sakura was so…sensitive. So what if he told her that orange looked horrible on her. He was just stating his opinion.

Leiko came into the kitchen to see her mother extremely pissed off and her father wearing that stupid fake smile.

"Good morning Mother, Father." She said as she went to fix herself some Natto and rice for breakfast.

Sakura was too pissed to say anything, but not Sai.

"Good morning Leiko. You look very nice today." He said to his future daughter, who was wearing an orange tank top and red shorts that ended at the knees. He figured that he didn't need another pissed woman on his hands.

"The hell?!" Sakura yelled before trying to hit Sai.

"How dare he compliment Leiko, but not her! My Sasuke would have never been so insensitive."

Leiko just sighed and shook her head. Parents these days…

She wondered how everyone else was doing with his or her new family, before digging in to her breakfast.

"Now this is what I call breakfast!" Choji said as he dug into the Himono with rice, miso soup, and pickles.

Yei just smiled as her father complimented her cooking, before she and her mother Ino, joined in as well.

"Choji! Pace yourself. You're eating like a pig. You ne—" Ino complained to her future husband, but Yei just blocked out the bickering of her parents, before her mind went to wondering how everyone else was doing with their family.

Pounding on the door was what woke Sasuke that morning. He had Naruto peacefully in his arms, before the door slammed open, effectively waking Naruto up, who realized was cuddled into Sasuke's side, before he pushed himself away.

"Dad! Father! Mai won't get out the bathroom even though she knows were going to be late." Sable said, not paying attention to her parents position.

"This house has 5 bathrooms. Use one of the other ones." Sasuke replied.

"Oh yeah…" she said, before running to one of the other bathrooms.

"Late? Late for…oh!" Sasuke thought.

He looked towards the clock on his nightstand to see it was…10:20 am! They had to leave by 10:45 to get to the stadium on time.

"Shit! Naruto, we have 25 minutes to get to the stadium on time." Sasuke said getting out of bed.

"Stadium? Why the hell do I need to go to the… Oh!" he cried out, getting out of bed.

Then the two stood facing each other, looking from each other to the connecting bathroom.

Sasuke was the first to try and bolt for it, but Naruto lunged at him, effectively making both of them fall. Naruto, who landed on top, quickly scrabbled up, but Sasuke got a hold of his ankle, tripping him.

"Bastard!"

"Dobe"

Naruto thinking fast, said seductively, "How about we take a shower together?"

Sasuke paused.

"Me.

Naruto.

Shower.

Together?"

When he was going to ask if Naruto was asking for real, he heard the click of the bathroom door closing.

"Damn you dobe!" he yelled, while running to one of the other two unoccupied bathrooms in the house.

A five-minute shower later, Sasuke was in his room looking very smug.

Naruto forgot one thing.

His towel.

He didn't care if he was going to be late and should be getting dressed. This was going to be so worth it.

As if on cue, the door to the connecting bathroom in his room opened just a crack to reveal a blue orb.

"Looking for this?" Sasuke said, holding up a fluffy orange towel.

"Yes please!" Naruto said holding out his hand, hoping Sasuke would just do this the easy way, but he knew Sasuke loved being difficult.

"Then come and get it."

Naruto cursed under his breath. He could tell that the raven was smirking. He looked around the bathroom. Shouldn't there be any towels in here?!

"Of course not. That would make life fair. And life wasn't fair, with Sasuke currently pulling the strings." He thought bitterly.

"Can I have my towel, please?" Naruto said, purring out the last part.

"Sure. You can come get it, or stay in the bathroom and be late to the meeting." Sasuke said, while taking the time that Naruto deliberated with himself to get dressed himself.

Naruto weighed his options.

"Be ogled by a perverted Sasuke, or get beaten by Tsunade for being late…Damn Sasuke."

Sasuke grinned as Naruto opened the door and walked with his head held high towards Sasuke.

"Give me my towel." He said, obviously mad.

"Certainly." Sasuke replied handing Naruto the towel.

Naruto quickly pulled the towel around himself and went towards the drawers to get his clothes, but couldn't do so because Sasuke had apparently stolen all his clothes.

"Where are my clothes, you bastard?!" he yelled.

"I hid them." Sasuke said, finishing up dressing himself.

"Give them to me." Naruto demanded.

"Of course." He said, looking at the time. It was 10: 38.

Naruto blinked.

"The bastard was going to give in!"

"If you give me a kiss." Sasuke bartered.

"Of course he wasn't going to give in."

"When—"

But Sasuke interrupted him.

"Or be late…" Sasuke said with a grin.

Naruto growled.

"What a bastard!" Naruto thought in rage.

Naruto looked at the clock. 10:39

"Argh!"

"Fine!" he yelled, stepping towards Sasuke, who smiled.

Sasuke pulled Naruto closer towards him, by wrapping his arms around the blonde's waist.

"Hey! You said just—" but was cut off when Sasuke's lips fell onto his own.

Naruto knew it would be futile to try he shove the raven off, so he just let the raven has his way with his mouth. It wasn't his fault his eyes closed during the kiss either. There was dust flying in the air... And oh! His hands were on Sasuke's neck and in his hair because there was a bug there! Gosh...

Naruto was NOT enjoying how Sasuke's tongue was stroking and sucking his. Or the moments Sasuke would suckle his bottom lip like it was a juicy piece of fruit. And the taste of the mint freshness of Sasuke's toothpaste was too strong. Plus Sasuke's cinnamon smell was—

"Dad! Father! We have…" sounded Mai's voice as she slammed the door open, to see her dad rip from her father's grasp because of her sudden intrusion.

Wide eyed and clearly unwanted, Mai closed the door without finishing her statement.

"Hn." Sasuke said, smirking, eyeing Naruto, who's towel fell.

"I do like what I see." Sasuke purred, while Naruto scrambled to get the towel to wrap around his bits and butt, all the while, blushing.

"Your clothes are under the bed. Hurry up and get dressed." Sasuke said before going out the door.

Naruto sighed and looked at the clock.

10:43 am

"Damn, teme." He muttered, before quickly getting dressed.
